Note di degustazione
Diam closure. Tasted blind. Pale lemon colour. Waxy, broad and ripe on the nose. There is a flinty hit of reduction and spiciness too. Complex. Leesy richness on the palate, there is depth and ripeness, and a real tang of acidity. Broad acids cut through beeswax and poached fruit. Warm. Powerful and smoky to the finish. (TP)

The 2017 La Clarté de Haut-Brion is a very pretty second wine to drink over the next handful of years. Citrus, orchard fruit and white flower notes all grace this weightless, crystalline second wine. A touch of reduction adds nuance without being excessive or overpowering. The 2017 is classy, polished and absolutely delicious.
Composed of 30.6% Sauvignon Blanc and 69.4% Sémillon, the 2017 La Clarté de Haut-Brion comes roaring out of the glass with bold notes of fresh apricots, pineapple and lime cordial plus hints of chalk dust, straw and coriander seed with a touch of honeysuckle. Medium-bodied, the palate has electric intensity with bags of stone and tropical fruit layers and a wicked backbone of freshness, finishing long and zesty.
The 2017 La Clarté de Haut-Brion has fresh lime, green apple and honeysuckle aromas. The palate is nicely balanced with a rounded entry, not amazing complexity. A touch of acacia honey towards the end just dips before the finish line.
